~Harvey Mackay
New York Times #1 best-selling author of Swim with The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive
“Everyone wants more impact, influence, branding, and recognition. On the Internet it’s known as Klout. For many, Klout scores have remained a mystery, UNTIL NOW. Terry Brock and Gina Carr have written the benchmark book, “Klout Matters,” and reveal the importance, the relevance, and the secrets behind this Internet imperative. As a Klout thought leader myself, I recommend that you buy this book, and implement the ideas and strategies, so that you go from Klout to significance.”
~Jeffrey Gitomer
New York Times Best Selling Author of The Little Red Book of Selling and 21.5 Unbreakable Laws of Selling
“I’ve had my doubts about systems that create “arbitrary” social media scores. What if someone has tremendous influence in the “offline” world yet isn’t that active on social sites? Well, the truth is we now live in an age of influence marketing and, in order for your business to really thrive, it’s critical to be strategically active on all the major social sites. In Klout Matters, Gina and Terry walk you through the exact steps needed to build a sizable platform, leverage key relationships, and create real influence for greater success. This book is a must read for anyone striving to become a respected thought leader.”

Do you have characters or stories in your books? Will your reader love ’em, hate ’em … or just not care? It’s a critical question that every author needs to deal with.
You can have the most compelling and creative plot out there, but without good characters your story just won’t move. But how do you come up with compelling characters that readers can relate too and get behind? That will be the subject of this webinar. We will delve into the creation of characters, and even how to write bios for them so we have something to refer back to when writing. So please come join me as we go over how to create engaging characters. Date is Wednesday, January 7th –details on the Events tab on the website. Freebie for AuthorU.org members. Get ready for Publish Smarter … Not Harder. Watch for the dates and get them on your calendar. Archives will be in the Logged in Members Only section. Check this month’s webinars under the Events tab.
Date: January 7th
Time: 6 pm Eastern, 4 pm Mountain

Fiction Factors – Bring it ALIVE with all FIVE: Stimulating all Five Senses in Your Fiction
Multiple-award-winning, best-selling fiction author Mara Purl walks you through her five-art seminar designed to have you put your reader IN the room with your characters. This webinar is filled with examples, both good and bad. And this is an active program, requiring your participation to complete exercises throughout the 90-minute session.
Your takeaways include:
1 – Most authors focus primarily on the visual—and it’s of primary importance. But have you done basic description? Or have you enriched your visual with metaphor? Have you anchored your visuals with time, date, place, and personal history?
2– Can your readers “hear” your book? Sound has multi-levels: immediate, ambient, and remembered. Are you using all three? Mara will show you how.
3 – One of the most powerful memory-triggers is the sense of smell. Are you using aroma to anchor your reader in the moment? How can you make your book more memorable?
4 – Find it almost impossible to describe how something tastes? Refocus on the experience of tasting something for the first time, then actively connect it. This takes some practice but it’s highly effective.
5 – Think your genre has no room for the “touchy-feely” stuff? Mara will show you how to make it work for you and further engage your readers.
DATE: February 19th 4 PT, 5MT, 6CT, 7ET
COST: FREE to Members only
